Experience the complex and robust flavour of this heritage barley varietal, with Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013. Delicately balanced with hints of fresh green fruits and lightly spiced gingerbread, this whisky is a testament to the resilience of ancient grain.

Dating back to the dawn of Scottish agriculture, Bere barley is one of the most fascinating and genetically diverse grains still cultivated today. As well as having a unique flavour, championing the ancient strain builds resilience and adds variety to barley growing. And at Bruichladdich Distillery, we recognise that genetic diversity is crucial to future-proofing land management.

We have been working with the University of the Highlands and Island’s Agronomy Institute since 2005 to reintroduce Bere barley to the whisky industry. Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 is a testament to this complex cereal.

Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill Pauillac wine casks, the single malt delicately balances the malty sweetness of the Bere barley with the oak, with hints of fresh green fruits and lightly spiced gingerbread.
